New resources for young people to imagine a sustainable future for Scotland

We’re delighted to be partnering with Nesta, the UK’s innovation agency for social good, and launching our new ‘This Must be the Place’ Learning Resource Pack. This new pack of resources will help children and young people to imagine a sustainable future for Scotland.

‘This Must be the Place’ Learning Resource Pack is based on Nesta’s This Must be the Place initiative – nine scenarios showing what Scotland could look like to live and work in a sustainable and hopeful future. At Young Scot, we’ve now developed an exciting set of learning resources for educators to use based on these scenarios, including:

  • Direct Democracy

  • Powerful Communities

  • Living Locally

  • Dear Green Places

  • Technology and Nature

  • Industrial Rewilding

  • Sustainable Industry

  • Out of Office

  • Our Home

The activities in the learning resource pack will help educators to support children and young people to imagine the place they want Scotland to look like in the future. The information and tasks will enable learners to understand what a sustainable Scotland could look like. They will also provide opportunities for learners to think about how they can be involved and help to work towards this.

The activities are linked strongly to Learning for Sustainability and the Experiences and Outcomes within the Curriculum for Excellence. There’s a range of individual, paired and group activities with options for learners to take part from Early Level through to Fourth Level.
